Topic: embodied systems

Support for ambitious multidisciplinary foundational computing research, including intelligence, learning, embodied systems and networks. Preliminary proposals are required by December 2, 2026, at 5 p.m. in the submitting organization’s local time. Invited full proposals are due July 27, 2027.

Could an artificial agent develop an operational first-person perspective through its own interaction history? This talk considers embodied systems that predict, receive feedback and integrate multiple modalities through global-workspace-like dynamics. Using the Conscious Turing Machine framework, it proposes that an agent-centred world model can acquire a temporally organized point of view. The discussion connects that structural proposal with enaction and neurophenomenology without establishing subjective experience in machines.
